### 13.3 Including descriptions with related links

By default, DITA2Go does not include descriptions with links. To include text from map desc, shortdesc, or linktext elements:

    [RelatedLinks]
    ; UseRelDescription = No (default, do not include any descriptions)
    ; or Yes (include description from map shortdesc, linktext, or desc)
    UseRelDescription = Yes

To include shortdesc content in the title attribute of the heading it applies to, instead of as a paragraph following the heading:

    [RelatedLinks]
    ; UseRelDescAsTitle = No (default, treat descriptions as text if used)
    ; or Yes (use descriptions without formatting as title attributes)
    UseRelDescAsTitle = Yes

When UseRelDescAsTitle=Yes, the shortdesc text appears with a mouseover in HTML output. This setting is effective only if you also set UseRelDescription=Yes.

Note: For the topic itself, the shortdesc always appears after the title, unless you specify otherwise; see §6.12.2 Including shortdesc content in the title attribute.
